OH, HOW EXCITING!!!!!I hope to post more updates in the near future. Bold and Pinstripe will soon be moving into a 40 breeder tank. The 20 long tank that they are currently in will not be empty... Two spotted turtle hatchlings (that we got at the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona Beach on Saturday) will be moving in!
Wow such great pictures!OMG! OMG! OMG!
I loveLoveLOVE this photo!!!!!!
SO TOTALLY ADORABLE with her built-in sleep mask!!!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them!Wow such great pictures!
I managed to lose Bold for a few minutes this afternoon in the 20 long mud turtle tank. You wouldn't think it's possible, but she blended in so well with the tank furniture that it took me a good ten minutes to find her. I think Pinstripe might have been trying to cover for her, too.
Never underestimate a mud turtle...
Thank you! We're going to have to add a bit more "clutter" to the tank to make them feel more comfortable, but I really like being able to see their colors and patterning clearly.CUTIES
I can imagine their conversation:We moved Bold and Pinstripe into their new 40 breeder tank a few nights ago. It's sparsely furnished right now, but they seem to be enjoying the extra space.

The substrate is playground sand, at least for now. So far, it seems like the turtles are less likely to ingest the playground sand than the "aquarium sand." The particles of playground sand are more fine, and the girls seem to have less trouble picking pellets up from off the bottom. So far, but it's only been a few days.What is that substrate they're in?
They really do look like they're kind of amazed at the scenery!!!!
It took me a few minutes to stop laughing so hard when I read your Kansas comment...I can imagine their conversation:
Bold: "Ummm....Pinstripe?"
Pinstripe: "Yes?..."
Bold: "I think we're not in Kansas any more..."
